I've solved this, but I find it so freaky that I thought I'd post it so others don't fall into the same trap, or even just in case it could be fixed.
Quick solution: ensure that you follow the 'normal' pattern of HibernateUtil with a static method that returns the session and no instances of the object itself.
I got a org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener cannot be cast to org.hibernate.event.PreInsertEventListener on startup of hibernate. Other than trying to use annotations, I don't think I'm trying anything unusual.
What it turned out to be was that I'd written my own version of HibernateUtil that retrieved the session in an instance method rather than a static method.
This somehow caused the above exception to be thrown. When substituting a more traditional HibernateUtil, the exception wasn't thrown. It wasn't enough to use a static method to access it - if I created an instance of my object first it still failed - it seems that the first call to the object
must be a call to a static method that gets the session.
So I suppose it's some sort of bug that depends on exact class loading order or something??
Anyway, in case it helps, details below.
Hibernate version: 3.2.2 GA
Annotations version: 3.3.0 GA
Java version: 1.6.0
JBoss version: 4.0.5 GA
Name and version of the database: Oracle 9i (9.2.0.7.0)
Copy of "Hibernate.cfg.xml" body:
Copy of "HibernateUtil" body:
(my version of Hibernate util is called SessionFactory)
Code:
private static final List<Class> persistedClasses
= Collections.unmodifiableList(Arrays.asList(new Class[]
{
Email.class,
EmailId.class
}));
private static final org.hibernate.SessionFactory hibernateSessions;
static
{
AnnotationConfiguration config = new AnnotationConfiguration();
for (Class c: persistedClasses) config.addAnnotatedClass(c);
config.configure();
hibernateSessions = config.buildSessionFactory();
}
/** Returns a new session as part of the global hibernate configuration for
* this application.
*/
public Session getSession()
{
return hibernateSessions.openSession();
}
(note that the errors still occurs without adding any annotated classes, and without the config.configure() step.)
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
